Heralded freshmen Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle will get reps in Saturday’s game vs. Oklahoma in O’Brien’s absence according to Jones.
CBJ: Khalil has gained some extra reps. He’s dropped a lot of weight. He feels the best he’s ever felt. I’m excited to see him perform Sat

There’s no doubt O’Brien’s loss will affect Tennessee’s pass rush against the Sooners’ wide-open Air Raid attack.
